Casual food items include our highly acclaimed Ahi Tuna, Bang Bang Shrimp, Steak Nachos, and a 10oz filet mignon burger. Our dress code ranges from very casual to cocktail and evening attire. We welcome everyone no matter what your occasion.

After making the recommended reservations at 7 pm, we were still required to wait about 30 minutes for a table (tables were available). Many other walked right by us, despite the reservations. The service was the worst I have ever seen for a restaurant that was suppose to be of higher quality. The waitress was rude, slow and had difficulty with the check (she overcharged us $20~said she mixed the ticket up with someone else). Now let me describe the food...I ordered a prime rib (my favorite). When the entree was served, it looked beautiful. The insided appeared to be slightly overcooked but the underneath was charred (completely black). I guess people in Arkansas eat prime rib well-done but it was BURNED to a crisp. The cook placed the burned side down on the plate and served it anyway. The waitress became offended when I mentioned that the meat was burned. It was the worst experience, the worst steak, and the worst service. I did like the piano player who played after 10:00 (yes, we were still there-I told you the service was slow). The piano player was very good and gave the restaurant a nice ambiance. Other than that, I cannot see how this place stays in business.

Since moving to Jonesbor, all I have heard is how good 501 is. I am highly disappointed. The food is average, the prices are high and the bar service is like Molasis in winter. I have been 3 times in an effort to be fair, and I will never go back.

I can not get enough of the 501. I have not been able to find anyone who can make spinach dip as well as this restaurant. They have some great chicken dishes, and can prepare a wonderful steak. If you are looking for a place to take someone out for a nice dinner in Jonesboro Ar, this is the place to go.
